Major Work Activity C – Installs and Maintains Wiring Systems

Task C-16 Installs and maintains raceways, cables, conductors and enclosures

Task Descriptor

Raceways contain and protect conductors and cables. Enclosures may be used to access and terminate the content of the raceway, and to facilitate the installation of conductors and the interconnection of components. Raceways and cables are installed in various environments. Industrial electricians install, and maintain raceways, cables and conductors.

It is understood that conduits and tubing are raceways, however for the purpose of this standard, raceways are separated from conduits and tubing to identify the different skills needed to install and maintain them.

For the purpose of this standard, “install” includes both new installations and upgrading of systems by removing and replacing components.

For the purpose of this standard, “maintain” includes inspection, preventative/predictive maintenance, troubleshooting, replacing and repairing activities.
